Worst Game

There were some great PSN games released this year….and there were some duds. These games have no redeeming qualities and, in the case of Afro Samurai, were completely removed from digital stores. The nominees on this list are best avoided

Runners-Up: Calvino Noir, Afro Samurai 2

Best AAA Game

Here at PSNStores we mostly look a smaller games that don’t often get a lot of coverage. At the same time many of us still play and love many of the bigger budget games released each year. The Witcher 3 is one of the most impressive open worlds we’ve ever seen. It even turned Collin, someone who doesn’t typically enjoy RPGs, into a believer. Fallout 4 found success in creating a world that we just loved to explore. Bloodborne is everything I loved about Dark Souls wrapped up in a Lovecraftian and gothic-horror setting.

Runners-Up: Bloodborne, The Witcher 3

Best Vita Game

The PlayStation Vita continued to be a great place to play games in 2015. Xeodrifter took a portion of our staff by storm as a simplified and excellent take on the classic Metroid formula. Danganronpa: Another Episode – Ultra Despair Girls introduced some really interesting villains and legitimately great gameplay for a series that is mostly a visual novel. Persona 4 Dancing All Night capitalizes on Persona 4’s stellar soundtrack by building a great rhythm game around it.

Runners-Up: Danganronpa: Another Episode – Ultra Despair Girls, Xeodrifter
